Delivery Service

We provide home delivery of library materials to those confined to their home due to illness
or disability. Upon registering with the service a profile of reading preferences is created
(this may include talking books, for those with visual disabilities). Library staff uses this
profile to select suitable materials for delivery. Volunteers pick up and deliver either every
two weeks or once a month.

Kurzweil Reading Machines are computers equipped with scanners and specialized software.
They allow you to scan printed material, magnify it on the screen, and then have the text read
aloud to you. Available at our Central, Woodside and Iroquois Ridge branches.
